Tokyo June 10: The Japan Airlines Group today announced further adjustments to its international passenger flight schedule during the first half of FY2003, following earlier changes announced in March, April and May.
The latest changes cover the period July through August and include restoration of some flights and routes, the extension of frequency reduction on some routes, route consolidations, continuation of temporary route suspensions and adjustments to code share flights with other airlines.
The changes reflect the changes in passenger demand following the Iraq war and the outbreak of SARS and are based on the planned 2003 summer schedule announced in January. The changes listed below were filed with the Japan government’s aviation authorities today.
